According to police, three teenagers are responsible for robbing a retired Oklahoma City firefighter of his cash and dragging him with their getaway car as they fled.

Brandon Reich, 18, Austin Revels, 18, and Crystal Routh, 15, have been arrested for the crime. Routh was the latest arrest.

KOCO 5 caught up with the victim, Philo Gravitt, and his wife, Jo Ann, Monday evening.

The couple had no idea the third suspect had been caught nor had they viewed the teens’ mugshots.

“She looks older than 15,” Jo Ann Gravitt said.

“Yeah she does,” Philo Gravitt said.

Philo Gravitt said he had never seen the teens before, but Jo Ann Gravitt felt differently.

“I have seen him somewhere before, I’m sure,” she said. “The blond-headed one.”

Philo Gravitt's near-death experience was captured on a surveillance camera in the neighborhood.

He said he was walking his two dogs after church when the teens asked him for gas money. As he pulled out his billfold to give them some cash, he said one of the males decided he wanted the billfold, too.

When Philo Gravitt refused and tried to back away, he said he was robbed and then dragged.

The getaway truck ran over his replacement knee, and he had difficulty walking for a couple of days.

“It scared me so bad I couldn’t dial 911,” Jo Ann Gravitt said.

Philo Gravitt said despite the terrifying incident, he has forgiveness in his heart.

“I prayed God would show them mercy,” he said. “He’s shown me mercy in my lifetime, and I ask him to do the same thing for them.”

He worked as a caddy or as a newspaper boy to make money when he was the suspects’ age and said he hopes they learn their lesson.
